@BrAff: I'm so embarrassed that I follow you on twitter and never made the connection. I fail at teh Cotomer Sevis.

@pauljones: you're not alone in not liking the Viper. I've always found it to be heavy-handed and too in-your-face, when all it really needed was to be simple and sexy (like the Cobra).

I quite like it. It's smoother and more modern than a Viper, while simultaneously being very retro. I'm not sure about those fender inserts (or whatever they are), but at least it's different. I would like to see it in a monochromatic paint scheme though, just to get a better feel for the proportions.

That's not a real Bentley, I think James May drove one of those while in Japan, right?

It takes guts to be a Joe Gibbs Racing driver...

@ChazzyD: I don't think enough Americans even know what Germany is anymore (a city in Europe?), much less the connotations of Auto Union as a WWII brand.

I'd take my '72 Alfa GTV and see if the floorpan stayed attached for the whole week.

@Superfast: Holy crap, is that a modern version of the Chuck Taylor "Segway-beater" powered unicycle of awesomeness?

Dying doing what you love - priceless.

@ThreeLitre: Give him a break. He just started and he's coming from The Onion, ferchristssake.

@Ash78: I agree completely, but it seems we're definitely in the minority around here. I think it's distinctive, aggressive and Japanese looking, all without trying too hard. The new ones are just a bagful of awkward IMHO.

@Pew Pew BOOM: I thought handjobs were exactly what helped broken trannies get a fix.

@UshiGuinea pig: This is a Hammond...

@monsterajr: I'm fighting with all I've got to keep it like this - and it is a fight.

@layabout SAVE THE JALOP 9 !: Thanks man. She's a mess, but my gorgeous mess :-)

Mine's a mess of both Alfa and home improvement.

I can think of so many ways – that are so much more fun – to make an engine seize.

That car has aged less gracefully than Meg Ryan. Cute for a fleeting moment, then shows up with giant lips.

I wonder if they cup your balls when measuring for the pedals.

@muhnkee_2 - jaloping from sunny sao paulo: Ooooh, now I get the road car one above.
